P03.09. Development of an interprofessional model of collaborative care by doctors of chiropractic and medical doctors for older adults with low back pain

چکیده
Purpose Although low back pain (LBP) is a common reason older adults seek treatment from either medical doctors (MD/DO) or doctors of chiropractic (DC), collaborative care between these providers is rarely reported. The purpose of our study is to develop a model for such collaborative care in LBP patients, based upon an existing integrative medicine model (Hsiao et al., 2006), focusing on four facets of interprofessional collaboration: attitudes, knowledge, referral, and integrative practice.
